Description
What the HELL happened to John Cox in 2026?!
One of the happiest guys in professional bass fishing just had a season where absolutely NOTHING seemed to go right. And somehow, he’s still smiling… sort of.
John Cox joins The Mercer Podcast to break down his disastrous 2026 Bassmaster Elite Series season. What went wrong? What went REALLY wrong? And how does a guy who always seems to find fish suddenly find himself in a season he’d rather forget?
But this episode goes WAY beyond tournament fishing.
We dive into the five most important senses an angler can have, John’s uncanny ability to find sneaky, out-of-the-way fishing hotspots that everyone else overlooks, and somehow end up discussing an absolutely insane party at his rental house.
Bad fishing, questionable decisions, unexpected stories, and a whole lot of laughs.
2026 might not have been John Cox’s year… but it sure made for one hell of a podcast.
